When
I first opened my Drifter bar, I assumed that this was Nestlé's
answer to a Twix bar. I was expecting two cookie sticks, covered with
caramel and dipped in chocolate. I was to be pleasantly surprised.
The Drifter is actually a really interesting and sort of unique treat.
I say sort of unique because the drifter seems to combine two bars
into one. It's as if a Kit Kat bar and a Twix bar had an offspring.

The Drifter looks exactly
like a Twix bar, it also has a similar layer of chewy caramel. The
difference is the centre cookie, which is similar to the layered wafers
found in a Kit Kat bar. This bar is really an amalgamation of two
of my favourite chocolate bars.

While I did enjoy the Drifter
bar, I don't think it's as good, or better than a Kit Kat or a Twix.
These two bars have a really great balance in texture and flavour
the way they're made. This bar disrupts this balance a little and
loses a few points there.

Taking two great bars and
trying to combine them into a better bar is not something that will
always work. Often bars have the ingredients they have because it
creates a balance in texture and flavour. The Drifter is a fine bar,
but it's not perfect, and it’s not better than a Twix of a Kit
Kat.
